Context
Purchases by large holders can be informative to investors, but this filing is from a 10% institutional owner (Manufacturers Life Reinsurance Ltd), not a company executive. The filing’s footnote warns the per-share price and share count are approximate because the fund’s net asset value timing prevented exact determination at filing time. No indication of option exercise, gift, or tax withholding in this report.
